Hubble Refines Size of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS’s Nucleus

xzes12 — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 23:23:10 +0000

Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have obtained the sharpest images yet of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, discovered on July 1, 2025, by the ATLAS system in Chile. This is the third known object to enter the Solar System from interstellar space after billions of years traveling through the Milky Way. Initially, the nucleus size […]

Cosmic Kitchen of Life: ALMA Detects DNA Molecules in a Planetary Cradle

xzes12 — Mon, 04 Aug 2025 12:24:00 +0000

Astronomers from the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, using the ALMA observatory, have detected complex organic molecules—such as ethylene glycol and glycolonitrile—in the protoplanetary disk surrounding the young star V883 Orionis. These compounds are known precursors to amino acids and DNA components, indicating that prebiotic chemistry may begin even before planets are fully formed. A […]

SpaceX Delivers on Promise to Reduce Starlink Satellite Interference with Vera Rubin Observatory

xzes12 — Mon, 04 Aug 2025 12:11:37 +0000

SpaceX engineers, working alongside astronomers—including the scientific director of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory—have conducted a joint study on the impact of Starlink satellites on astronomical observations. The main concern: satellite brightness interfering with telescope imaging during nighttime operations. The findings show that SpaceX has honored its commitment to reduce satellite brightness. The new-generation Version […]

Solar Surfing: Parker Probe Completes Primary Mission with Record-Breaking Close Pass to the Sun

xzes12 — Mon, 04 Aug 2025 11:40:24 +0000

On June 9, 2025, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe completed the primary phase of its mission by making its 24th and closest-ever flyby of the Sun. During this pass, the probe reached an unprecedented distance of just 6.2 million kilometers (3.85 million miles) from the solar surface, accelerating to a speed of 687,000 km/h (427,000 mph) […]

Cosmic Imbalance: How a Gas Giant Formed in a System with an Active Protoplanetary Disk

xzes12 — Mon, 04 Aug 2025 11:34:40 +0000

Astronomers led by Tomas Stolker from Leiden University have discovered the exoplanet HD 135344 Ab, a gas giant 10 times the mass of Jupiter, located 440 light-years away in the constellation Lupus. This planet, orbiting a 12-million-year-old star A in the binary system HD 135344 AB, sheds light on planet formation in such systems. The […]

Two Moons in One: Shocking Geochemical Asymmetry Uncovered in the Aitken Basin

xzes12 — Mon, 04 Aug 2025 11:32:02 +0000

The Chang’e-6 mission returned about 2 kg of soil from the South Pole-Aitken (SPA) Basin, the Moon’s largest crater, spanning 2,500 km, providing new insights into the geology of the lunar far side. Research published in “Nature” explains the asymmetry between the Moon’s sides, where the far side’s crust is thicker and its terrain more […]

Cosmic Bubble: Astronomers Discover the Milky Way Floats in a Giant Void

xzes12 — Fri, 11 Jul 2025 13:08:58 +0000

Astronomers have proposed that the Milky Way resides in a massive cosmic void—a region with 20% lower matter density than average, spanning a radius of about one billion light-years. This hypothesis, presented at NAM 2025, explains the “Hubble tension”—a discrepancy in measurements of the universe’s expansion rate, suggesting that the local void accelerates galaxy motion […]

Double Death of a Star: VLT Captures Unique Two-Stage Supernova Explosion

xzes12 — Wed, 09 Jul 2025 23:44:06 +0000

Astronomers using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) have obtained the first visual evidence of a double detonation in the supernova remnant SNR 0509-67.5, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The study, published in *Nature Astronomy*, reveals that some white dwarfs explode twice: first, the helium layer detonates, then the carbon-oxygen core. This […]

Custom-Made Eclipse: How Two ESA Satellites Created a Shadow in Space for the First Time

xzes12 — Wed, 09 Jul 2025 23:04:47 +0000

The European Space Agency’s Proba-3 mission has pulled off a historic first: an artificial solar eclipse. Two satellites, dubbed the “Occulter” and the “Coronagraph,” worked in perfect sync on orbit to cast a shadow about 8 centimeters wide, mimicking a total eclipse. This allowed scientists to observe the Sun’s corona—usually visible only during natural eclipses—without […]
